Happy New Year's Eve! The New
Year is near, time to throw on the sparkly party dress, drink champagne and say goodbye 2013.
So why not start the new year with a cute and chic party hat? While everyone else is most likely wearing a regular ol’ party hat, here’s a fun
quick way to make your own party hat accessory, we found on pinterest, that is promised to stay on!
Follow these three easy steps to make fun hat with some stuff you might already have around the house.

Start with a basic knot;
leave enough room to slip around your head. If it makes it easier, you can use your knee.

Next:
Turn your knot and bring the ends to one side and you should have three parts.
Start a braid, you will have to bring in and over the ends of the scarf to
complete the braid. You can do a loose or tight braid depending on the length
of your scarf.

Then... throw
it over your head and done! Check out more of the Scarf Collections and Shop All Scarves >>

This morning Chelsea (our newest PR intern) and myself marched our happy little selves right over to the dye house to do some tie dye! By now, I'm sure you know we have a solar powered dye house attached to our offices, right? (If you don't, you're living comfortably under a rock, no offense).

First, we made our way into where all the dyes are kept to pick our colors. Once we were done ooh-ing and aah-ing at all the options, we went with purple, coral and turquoise. NOW I realize most of you don't have a dye house attached to your home or office so go to your local drug store and pick up garment dye if you want to play along!

Next we picked our targets. Chelsea went with a heather grey tank and I decided to go with an oversize 3/4 sleeve top.

When you're deciding where to place your tie dye patterns make sure you secure the rubber bands tightly. I mean, what's the point of tie dying if you can't see any of the patterns you made? You can even use more than one band per area to be sure it's secure enough.

Outside we dipped, we dyed and we played around with the gorgeous colors we chose. Don't forget gloves!! Your hands will be forever stained. Make sure to wring out the garmet as much as you can prior to hanging it up to dry or it will drip all over the place.

I'm actually surprised I'm not covered in dye at the moment. I am not a master dyer so there was plenty of dye flying around when I was making my top. This is not for the faint of heart!

Next, we hung our tops out to dry in the sun. When they're mostly dry remove all rubber bands. After they're dry we'll stick them into the washer/dryer to be sure we don't turn shades of blue, purple and orange when we wear them.

OH! How would you like to wear one of our creations? One lucky reader will win a custom Gypsy 05 over-sized top with a never before used (and probably won't be used ever again!) dye process, made by your favorite Gypsy girls! Just leave your name and email in the comments below to be entered! Winner will be drawn on February 7th.

SEE! We told you to wear gloves! We prematurely took our gloves off to remove the rubber bands and all of a sudden....purple and blue fingers and palms! Take it from us, keep those gloves on!
